Chapter Twenty - One: Scared

Chapter Twenty-One: Scared

        Slowly, my eyes were flickering open but I felt disoriented. I kept falling in and out of consciousness. When I finally became aware of my surroundings, panic crept through my veins immediately. I didn't know what to think and I didn't know where I was. My mind was over analyzing the ways that I could to help myself.

But how did I even reach here?

"You're finally awake." On instinct I followed the voice and was met with eyes of anguish and misery, Joshua.

Am I dreaming? Why would he do this? I didn't understand, it was rather baffling. He never bared his feelings when we were together and needless to say, kidnapping me? How will this help the fact that I didn't want him anymore?

"What did you do?" I tried to move when realization hit me that my wrist were tied to the handles of a chair and feet tied together. I didn't even realize that I was tied up. Immediately I was scared, scared for my life. He's a lunatic.

He stood looking at me like I was the most precious being he had ever laid his eyes on but who would do this to the one they love or should I say "claim" to love?

"What have you done?" My voice came out chapped and hoarse in my attempt to shout. I slightly cringed. How long have I been tied up was the question ringing through my mind. Carlos must be going out of his mind.

A few tears started to cascade their way down my cheeks, I was hurt.

"Don't cry baby." He reached out to caress my face but I flinched away which made him look taken aback but he said nothing and left the room.

He was a cruel man, if he actually did love me why would he have done this. I looked at my wrist feeling exasperated, how would I possibly break free of this? I was properly latched to this chair. I must be fucking cursed.

I was only able to find crazy people to fill my life. I was having a hard time feeling my body, I felt numb and as matter of fact I wasn't feeling anything actually. If I didn't look, I would realize. Did he drug me up?

Emotionally drained, I fell back into slumber.

Carlos

   Everything was a mess. I finally had her and yet, she still wasn't in my arms. I couldn't find her and it was maddening! I knew it was that dreadful psychopath Joshua. Tori just didn't know the type of man he was and the type of things he did behind closed doors.

If she was dead, I wouldn't be fucking surprised but if that was the case, I wouldn't hesitate by putting my Pistol to his head. No one and I mean no one dared to mess with my sanity.

Man of God my ass! That was a the façade he created around his name.

I needed her for my stability. I haven't seen her for almost a week nor knew of her whereabouts and I fucking needed her. Dammit.

I knew that she was abducted by that deranged excuse of a man because I know she wouldn't just leave me like that, that was a fact.

When I called Natalya, Tori didn't know that Natalya was one of my best friends and it should be realized by now that she didn't really know much about me. When I met Tori, I thought that she was the most beautiful girl in the world and I had to have her. When I realized her innocence, I made sure that I created a whole new persona for her. I didn't want her to know the real me but I knew that I had to explain that to her soon.

And I will keep my word on that.

"Where is Tori? She should have been home by now." The line went dead for a second.

I could hear the panic in her voice when she spoke, "Where is she Carlos? She never showed up here, I didn't even know she was coming."

Immediately, I lost it, "Fuck!"

"What happened?"

I explained to her that Tori broke up with Joshua and he didn't take it well. "My best guess, is that he kidnapped her."

"Shit!" She exclaimed, "So what are we going to do?"

I ran my fingers through my hair, "I have no fucking clue. But when I find him, he better hope he's dead by then."

I was going through turmoil and Nat tried to calm me down but I just couldn't will myself to feel better about the situation that she is fine. What if he killed her and himself? How would I live with that, how would I move on?

There was this feeling in the pit of my stomach saying that she wasn't safe to go about alone but I didn't want to seem too obsessive on her. I wanted to give her time to get use to me but fuck, look where that got me? The one damn time I decided to be nice, something like this had to happen.

I had my men looking for Josh but to no avail, I had his number because we have done numerous of dealings in the past. I didn't want to talk to him because it will make me uncontrollable and I become dangerous when my rage roars.

But fuck it, I thought to myself, "I know you have her Joshua." I stated as soon as he answered.

"I was wondering how long it would take for you to call, asshole."

I ran my fingers through my hair, "What do you want?"

He laughed boisterously on the other end, "I don't want a damn thing from you." He stated as a matter of fact, "Just know that when I am done with her, there won't be anything left for you to get out of her." Before I could respond, he hung up.

He will do no such thing, if he even lays a pin on her head, I will kill him. When I find him, he will only wish that he didn't touch her and that is a promise to myself that I will be keeping.
